Meateater

Times are tough this winter for the hares, (Lepus americanus) overpopulation is bringing about malnutrition and starvation, driving an animal we normally think of as an herbivore to eat meat. They are also digging down through the snow to eat dirt, getting a few much-needed minerals.

 

This hare has climbed up on my deck and is chewing bones left there for the lumberjacks (Perisoreus canadensis).

 

This is a short GIF converted to movie.
